Mubarak deserves mercy

ALL THE PEOPLE IN EGYPT “WELL THE POOR” want mubarak swinging from an acasia tree, but if orders are given it has to pass this man Ahmed el-Tayeb the grand sheik of Cairo’s Al-Azhar, Mohamed Ibrahim Abdel-Monem was convicted of killing 20 protesters on Jan. 28,in his absence he was tried and convicted . The court referred the case to the Grand Mufti, Egypt’s religious authority who must approve all death sentences.

Egypt’s top Sunni Muslim cleric says the country’s former president Hosni Mubarak should be granted mercy instead of facing prosecution,

Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand sheik of Cairo’s Al-Azhar institution, was quoted by German weekly Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung’s Sunday edition as saying that “mercy should prevail over justice” given Mubarak’s achievements and his poor health.

Representatives of Al-Azhar, the pre-eminent theological institute of Sunni Islam, in Cairo could not be reached to confirm the comments.

“One should consider that Mubarak has done a lot for Egypt over a long time. He’s an old and sick man. Mercy should prevail over justice,” he was quoted as saying.

The weekly, which said it interviewed el-Tayeb in Egypt’s capital, further quoted him as saying that toppling Mubarak was an expression of the people’s desire for change “which Al-Azhar supports.”

El-Tayeb also voiced concern in light of the recent clashes between Copts and Muslims in Cairo, saying those were directed “from interested groups outside” the country, accusing “the West of seeking to foment chaos in Egypt.”

“Muslims and Christians have lived peacefully together since Islam’s introduction 1,400 years ago,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

so with all this power he cant even get a muslim drug addict to pay up,

go home make a new president, they were told!

OK GIRLS YOU CAN NOW START BLOGGING ON HOW THE ARMY ARE LIARS,,, THEY SAY NONE OF THE WOMEN WERE VIRGINS.

THIS MEANS THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE WOMEN ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE HELL OF A JOB PROVING THAT THEY ARE VIRGINS TO THE NEW HUSBAND TO BE ,

YOU WANT DEMOCRACY, PROVE THESE ANIMALS TO BE LIARS,

more verbal garbage coming from the ARMY liars

,,we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs).” you mean they were smoking? well how dangerous is that,

A senior Egyptian general admits that “virginity checks” were performed on women arrested at a demonstration this spring, the first such admission after previous denials by military authorities.

The allegations arose in an Amnesty International report, published weeks after the March 9 protest. It claimed female demonstrators were beaten, given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution charges and forced to submit to virginity checks.

At that time, Maj. Amr Imam said 17 women had been arrested but denied allegations of torture or “virginity tests.”

But now a senior general who asked not to be identified said the virginity tests were conducted and defended the practice.

JUST AS MUCH AS SHEIHK MOHAMED TYEB DEFENDS FEMALE CIRCUMCISION AS PART OF THE CULTURE OF LUXOR.

“The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine,” the general said. “These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs).”

The general said the virginity checks were done so that the women wouldn’t later claim they had been raped by Egyptian authorities.

“We didn’t want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they weren’t virgins in the first place,” the general said. “None of them were (virgins).”

This demonstration occurred nearly a month after Egypt’s longtime President Hosni Mubarak stepped down amid a wave of popular and mostly peaceful unrest aimed at his ouster and the institution of democratic reforms.

Afterward, Egypt’s military — which had largely stayed on the sidelines of the revolution — officially took control of the nation’s political apparatus as well, until an agreed-upon constitution and elections.

The March 9 protest occurred in Tahrir Square, which became famous over 18 historic and sometimes bloody days and nights of protests that led to Mubarak’s resignation.

But unlike in those previous demonstrations, the Egyptian military targeted the protesters. Soldiers dragged dozens of demonstrators from the square and through the gates of the landmark Egyptian Museum.

Salwa Hosseini, a 20-year-old hairdresser and one of the women named in the Amnesty report, described to CNN how uniformed soldiers tied her up on the museum’s grounds, forced her to the ground and slapped her, then shocked her with a stun gun while calling her a prostitute.

“They wanted to teach us a lesson,” Hosseini said soon after the Amnesty report came out. “They wanted to make us feel that we do not have dignity.”

The treatment got worse, Hosseini said, when she and the 16 other female prisoners were taken to a military detention center in Heikstep.

There, she said, she and several of other female detainees were subjected to a “virginity test.”

“We did not agree for a male doctor to perform the test,” she said. But Hosseini said her captors forced her to comply by threatening her with more stun-gun shocks.

“I was going through a nervous breakdown at that moment,” she recalled. “There was no one standing during the test, except for a woman and the male doctor. But several soldiers were standing behind us watching the backside of the bed. I think they had them standing there as witnesses.”

The senior Egyptian general said the 149 people detained after the March 9 protest were subsequently tried in military courts, and most have been sentenced to a year in prison.

Authorities later revoked those sentences “when we discovered that some of the detainees had university degrees, so we decided to give them a second chance,” he said.

The senior general reaffirmed that the military council was determined to make Egypt’s democratic transition a success.

“The date for handover to a civil government can’t come soon enough for the ruling military council,” he said. “The army can’t wait to return to its barracks and do what it does best practice and protect the back passages on the borders

Is luxor part of Egypt,

IN LUXOR Tens protest to demand trials of regime figures,

It's to the squares in Luxor and Aswan where protests are being held in Abu Haggag Square and Shuhada Square respectively. there was more people at last nights wedding in Abu Haggag SQUARE than at today's protest, Sex lives of married Egyptians laid bare

EACH PROTEST SINCE THE 25/1/2011 IT SEEMS IS HELD BY THE SAME PEOPLE, TOUR COMPANIES WHO ARE LOOSING MONEY. THOSE WHO SHOULD BE ON THE PROTEST MARCH WILL NOT DROP THE REIGNS OR LEAVE THEIR TAXI INCASE THEY LOOSE A CUSTOMER FARE.

STRANGE LOOKING STONE DON'T YOU THINK???

IF MUBARAK GETS TO TRIAL AND GETS THE DEATH PENALTY. WILL THE HEAD OF ISLAM IN EGYPT" SAY YES HANG HIM". ALREADY HE HAS STATED HOSNI SHOULD GO FREE, AND AS I PERSONALLY KNOW THESE THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF ARMED FORCES WILL NOT GO AGAINST THE SHEIKHS, WELL NOT AGAINST THE ELDER BROTHER OF Dr Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Al-Tayeb Al-Azhar Sheikh. , so where does that leave all these protesters all the ones who martyred for freedom, all the injured,

Tens of thousands protested throughout Egypt to demand the trial of Mubarak regime figures and to exert pressure on the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to take steps toward political reform.

Eyewitnesses said that 20,000 Egyptians protested in the coastal city of Alexandria to demand the dissolution of municipal councils that have been controlled by members of the dissolved National Democratic Party. Protesters also called for trying Mubarak.

In the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, hundreds gathered in al-Hadaba. They demanded that Mubarak be removed from Sharm el-Sheikh hospital where he is being treated and transferred to Tora prison in Cairo.

In Suez, thousands of protesters emerged from Friday prayers to participate in the second Friday of Anger protest in Isaf square in the neighborhood of Arbi’in. Protesters called for purging the media of Mubarak regime figures.

first they cut off gas supplies from Egypt, that's called cutting ones nose to spite the face,

they put out false info on the tourists in 2010 . 18 million visited Egypt, they say 11million ,, that's 7 million uncounted income from tourists. and yes Egypt needed a revolution, but they need to get rid of all the old regime, all they have done up to date is move these people about, ie one of the corrupt police generals in luxor "Ebd Mosin", because all the people here in the west bank know he was corrupt, he has been moved to Hurgada, I wrote about this nice general in my attempted murder statement 12 months ago, but all they have done is give him a better job, they sentence one cop for killing 20 in tarhir square. they never took any statements nothing just pointed the finger and sentenced him in his absence, makes the people happy "I DO NOT THINK So,, this new media story also mentions the cruise boats and how lack of tourism is ruining their business, well how about all the crops and farmland their pollution has ruined, no talk about that, no rice in Ismaleia , no food is growing in the el fayoum, because of the cruisers, http://nilelife5.blogspot.com/2010/12/egypts-farmers-desperate-for-clean.html ,

Everyone will agree history was made in Tahrir Square and Egypt's politics took a great step forward with the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. But have Egypt's economics taken a big step backwards?

One of the generals running the country presented a picture of his country's economy that made me think, "What in the World?"

He says foreign direct investment is now down to zero. Egypt's foreign reserves are fast getting depleted. Then there's the tourism industry, which employs 2 million people but is sitting idle with the world continuing to shun the Pyramids of Giza and cruises down the Nile.

That's $1 billion of lost revenue every month. Growth has crawled to a standstill.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of workers, emboldened with a new sense of freedom, are staging strikes to demand better pay. Confronting them would mean work stoppages. Appeasing them will cost money, and the state's coffers aren't exactly overflowing.

Then there's oil. The revolutions of the Middle East has sparked a cycle of pain in the crude markets. Look at three countries that have been hit hardest by people power movements - Egypt, Tunisia, Syria. They are all oil importers. Egypt then will go from growth in 2010 to shrinking GDPs this year.

Now, look at their neighbors who managed to stave off the wave of protests through a mix of bribery and appeasement - Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. They're all net oil exporters with vast cash reserves.

That's why the dichotomy is actually getting worse, because oil importers need to spend more to buy the same amount of gas. Also, to keep political support at home, they need to increase subsidies on things like food - potatoes, carrots - because everything costs more, thanks to oil-driven inflation here.

And then there's this. Unlike previous years, the gulf countries, the oil-rich countries, actually want oil prices to be priced higher because they need the cash. They need to support their own spending plans for new cities and to more payouts to suppress dissent. For the first time in history, oil is averaging nearly $100 a barrel for more than a year. Even the Saudis need that cash.

If Egypt's economy doesn't stabilize soon, the IMF will soon come knocking on its door. And what will it demand? Economic reform to promote growth, of course, which means what? A devaluation of Egypt's currency, possibly? The reduction of subsidies? The privatization of industries? Anything to get the fiscal house in order and generate new economic growth.

just had another story from luxor. on how hassle is ruining one man's life,

this hassle is another reason tourists do not come here to Egypt.

"G" you can put your story on the comments, then I will give it a page,

ANY WAY THE RACE WAS WON AS SOON AS MOHAMED DECIDED TO RUN FOR OFFICE AFTER ALL WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD VOTE AGAINST THE HEAD OF THE SHEIKHS HERE IN LUXOR. NOW WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO GO FOR OFFICE THAT ALREADY HAD SO MUCH INFLUENCE OVER HIS PEOPLE. AS THE TIME UNFOLDS IT BECOMES CLEAR OUR FRIEND SHEIKH TYEB WANTS TO BE IN THE CORRUPTION LEAGUE, WITH DR SAMIR FARAQ, SIGNING PAPERS FOR SHEIHKS AND ELDERS WHO WANTED TO IMPROVE THE LIFE STYLE OF THEIR VILIAGES.AND MOST IMPORTANT THEIR OWN LIFESTYLES.

CAIRO | Sun May 22, 2011 10:46am EDT

CAIRO May 22 (Reuters) – An Egyptian criminal court sentenced a police officer to death in absentia on Sunday for killing protesters during demonstrations that ousted President Hosni Mubarak, a judicial source said on Sunday. The source said Mohamed Ibrahim Abdel-Monem was convicted of killing 20 protesters on Jan. 28, one of the most violent days of the 18-day uprising that unseated Mubarak on Feb. 11. The court referred the case to the Grand Mufti, Egypt’s religious authority who must approve all death sentences.

The sentence against Abdel-Monem, who has evaded capture, is scheduled to be confirmed on June 26 after the Mufti’s approval. (Writing by Sarah Mikhail)

,

BERLIN – Egypt’s top Sunni Muslim cleric says the country’s former president Hosni Mubarak should be granted mercy instead of facing prosecution, a German newspaper reported Saturday.

Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand sheik of Cairo’s Al-Azhar institution, was quoted by German weekly Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung’s Sunday edition as saying that “mercy should prevail over justice” given Mubarak’s achievements and his poor health.

Representatives of Al-Azhar, the pre-eminent theological institute of Sunni Islam, in Cairo could not be reached to confirm the comments.

“One should consider that Mubarak has done a lot for Egypt over a long time. He’s an old and sick man. Mercy should prevail over justice,” he was quoted as saying.

The weekly, which said it interviewed el-Tayeb in Egypt’s capital, further quoted him as saying that toppling Mubarak was an expression of the people’s desire for change “which Al-Azhar supports.”

El-Tayeb also voiced concern in light of the recent clashes between Copts and Muslims in Cairo, saying those were directed “from interested groups outside” the country, accusing “the West of seeking to foment chaos in Egypt.”

“Muslims and Christians have lived peacefully together since Islam’s introduction 1,400 years ago,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

This critical situation in the country in the wake of Mubarak’s demise, he was further quoted as saying, “could force the military to remain in power.”

The French-educated el-Tayeb was appointed to his post last year by Mubarak. He had been a member of Mubarak’s ruling party but left it after public criticism that the head of Al-Azhar shouldn’t also be in politics.

During the 18-day uprising that ousted Mubarak, el-Tayeb condemned the sit-in in Tahrir square after Mubarak promised concessions. He said the continued protests were not religiously condoned.

He is considered a moderate cleric, is an expert in Islamic philosophy and issues of faith, and has criticized hardline Islamists.

The 82-year-old Mubarak has been held in custody since last month on charges that include misuse of power and ordering attacks against protesters in the 18-day uprising that drove him from power in February.

His 70-year-old wife, Suzanne, was released this week after she relinquished assets and property valued at some $4 million, a move aimed at settling corruption allegations against her, though it was unclear whether she might still face trial.

Bringing Mubarak to trial has become a rallying point for protesters, who turned out in Tahrir Square by the hundreds Friday to express their frustration at the failure by the military council, which currently rules the country, to bring about more democratic change.

ok been there done that,

what they did in that court was nothing new for Egypt’s court system,MY SIMPLE CASE ON A SWINDLE HAS TAKEN 5 YEARS.CLICK HERE TO READ. most judges here are from wealthy homes and their seat has been bought. these men have been brought up in corruption and do not know the difference between right and wrong;they cannot cope with more than one problem does their head in; judge shaddy on hearing the first of my case, was actually watching road runner on his laptop and we had to wait for it to finish before the case proceeded; the lawyer I took to court for swindling me out of my home and money also had a friend in judge SHADDY, another judge told me to” SHUT THE FUCK UP” ,,WHAT MOVIE ARE WE MAKING TODAY I ASKED, GOOD JOB THE POLICE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ONGOINGS OR THE POOR BUGGERS WILL ALL DIE IN JAIL. , the ANGRY relatives had nothing to do with the postponement of the case,,,,,, ALL THE LAWYERS WANTED WAS MORE TIME TO FUCK THE CASE UP.,

try ADLY on one case hang him,,, then just say he was also corrupt ,CANT HANG THE MAN TWICE,

CAIRO – An Egyptian judge on Saturday postponed the trial of the country’s former interior minister and four of his top aides in the deadly shooting of protesters after chaos broke out in the courtroom, with families of the victims shouting “Butcher! Butcher!” at the defendants.

Habib el-Adly is the highest-ranking former regime official to be brought to trial so far in the killings of 846 protesters and the injury of thousands of others during the uprising that forced ex-president Hosni Mubarak to step down on Feb. 11. If convicted, el-Adly could face the death penalty.

Outside the heavily guarded courtroom north of Cairo, families of the victims held up pictures of their dead relatives and posters calling for the death penalty. They pushed down security barricades in their rush to enter the courtroom. Once inside, the families shouted “Butcher!” at el-Adly.

The chaos prompted the judge to postpone the trial to June 26. Plaintiffs’ lawyers presented a request to change the judge because of what they said was his friendship with el-Adly.

El-Adly served as Mubarak’s interior minister for 13 years, a time during which his 500,000-strong security forces were blamed for some of the worst human rights violations Egypt had seen in decades. Anger over police brutality, particularly by members of the notorious state security agency, was a main motive for the uprising.

Earlier, El-Adly was convicted of money laundering and corruption charges and sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined about $2.5 million. He also faces a third trial on corruption charges.

its also far from justice in my case,

corruption was the order of the day pre 25.1.2011.. and its getting to look like its not going to go away. all they are doing is looking for easy targets to blame all the atrocities on , scapegoats , those who had a firm belief the regime was her to stay, judges most who were put in their seats by rich parents, as one blogger said in 2007, and got himself put in jail. police officers have just been moved around like piles of rubbish from one district to another. it also seems their little black books have been made to do a disappearing act,

lots of criminal files have vanished into thin air, so how are those law abiding justice seeking men going to get Justice done in this country where the old regime still are in command. its OK moving the head and getting it to talk, they should have kept it on the body, as that’s where all the injustice lays.

Luxor District for instance only 2 men have been arrested on corruption charges Dr Samir Faraq and his secretary, it seems the army are quite happy the way things are going here, they do not want to open any more Pandora boxes for fear of reprisals from the Muslim community, last Sunday i saw and heard with my own eyes and ears how things work here in the council chambers, twenty or so locals who had grievances over land etc, where given a lecture by one of luxor main speakers as to how this the local council has no money to pay them, one by one all these people who came in with smiling faces . i watched as frowns took over some threw their papers down in disgust and left the meeting,then on the other end of the table was Brigadier |Mohamed and 4 Muslim guys, this little group of people moved into another office when the arguments started to fly from the mouths of the downcast , me i had no idea why I was taken in this room, only that I thought the Brigadier had some good news for me after 15 days of his lies, not even on this day did the brigadier have anything to say ,

I waited then outside the room where the brigadier and his salifi guys had over an hours discussion , as they came out of the room with broad smiles on faces I barged into what is Achmed Agag office, but the Brigadier had gone no doubt through the back door to avoid a confrontation with me as to the two lies he said, first lie in front of The new guvorner of Luxor,” will go see the sheikh tonight and Phone you at 9.00 in the morning,” 12 days later I managed to get the brig on his mobile, the brig has a tendency two switch unwanted calls off, so I used my other mobile and caught him off guard, “meet me at 15.00 we will go to the police and make charges, “ i knew there and then I was being fobbed off, the police do not work at 3.oo in the afternoon, but hoping the general had some kind of power , I thought maybe he can get the corrupt ones to hear my new statements, but here i was 3 three days later still hoping the army was going to do as they promised the youth of the revolution, ” we will stop the corruption and bring the corrupt to justice”,,,, but its seems that Sheihk Mohamad Tyeb’s door is firmly closed to me and the powers that be, on seeing Achmed Agag At his desk I vented my furry on him, he then handed me the office phone, , How can I help said a voice on the end of the line, this was Ehab Gaddis the British consulate her in Luxor, come to my office at 9.00 on Wednesday, why cant I come now, and as usual the answer was I am in Cairo, the most favourite of sayings if one does not want to see someone to bide time to give answers,

all very well you guys reading my posts, this problem is over 6 years old, the revolution is almost 4 months old, and I am back to square one where I still need help in my case, but from a simple swindling case, this has turned into a nightmare of corruption ,attempted murder ,blackmail , forgery, two terms of jail sentences, and all because two Muslims decide they do not want to give a Christian his rights.

(CNN) — At least 840 people were killed and more than 6,000 injured during the Egyptian revolution earlier this year as then-President Hosni Mubarak clung to power through violence and intimidation, Amnesty International said in a report Thursday.

Though protesters ultimately ousted Mubarak, Egyptian leaders have a lot of work to do to compensate victims’ families and restore citizens’ faith in the government, the report said.

“The Egyptian authorities have much to do to rebuild trust in public institutions, which have been seen as tools of repression and obstacles to justice,” the report said.

“They must start by overhauling laws that allowed violations to happen and take steps to guarantee that such abuses will not be repeated.”

Egyptian government officials declined CNN’s request for comment about the report.

Amnesty International said it sent a team to Egypt, which spent more than two months conducting interviews for the 120-page report.

Hundreds of people who suffered grievous abuses are still waiting to receive justice for what happened to them–Amnesty International

Complaints about corruption, low wages and rigged elections sparked protesters to hit the streets of Cairo in late January.

In just 18 days, protesters were able to end Mubarak’s 30-year rule.

But despite his ouster, many are still suffering, the report said.

“Many hundreds of people who suffered grievous abuses during this period are still waiting to receive justice for what happened to them,” Amnesty International said.

The organization said it found “damning” evidence that Egyptian security forces used excessive force to disperse protesters.

Many died from gunshot wounds to the head and chest. One field hospital told Amnesty International that it documented 300 cases of people losing sight because of shotgun wounds to their eyes.

There were numerous cases of torture of protesters who were detained, according to the report. These cases included beatings with sticks or whips, electric shocks and threats of rape.

At least 189 prisoners died during the protests, the group said, calling for an investigation.

Egyptian authorities have detained Mubarak and his two sons in connection with the deaths of protesters.

Former Interior Minister Habib El Adly was handed a 12-year prison sentence for corruption and he will face a separate trial Saturday for his alleged role in the killings. And prosecutors are continuing to investigate other high-ranking members of the deposed government.

But Amnesty said more should be done.

“Authorities’ response to victims must go much further than this,” the group said. “That means giving them the truth about what happened, providing them with appropriate reparation and making sure that all those responsible are brought to justice.”

Mohamed Lofty, an Egypt researcher with Amnesty International, said the organization was trying to get the truth out.

“We have found that abuses and violations of human rights has continued in a very bad manner even after Mubarak left,” Lofty said Thursday. “It is very important to reveal the truth about what happened.”

oooooooooh, ITS A LOAD OF CRAP

shit in a fag tray, and this one really stinks, nothing like babby shit to make a humdinger of a smell,

first part of this story is what happened yesterday 17 May.

this is a ca ca.(lump of shit) not just a ca ca but a policemans ca ca. here on the lower path of the promenade where tourists have to clamber on board their once in a lifetime Nile cruise boats there are some gardens with some shrubs flowers a few birds and wild life . you can see these on my blog myegyptblog all very nice you may say, and what a nice place to spend ones days of retirement. but while walking along on these hot days one gets this wonderful aroma of human ca ca , (wonderful for the flies that is)

This day I was here on the walk for a reason. not sure if its of interest to anyone , my story on being swindled is on this blog, its sure not of any interest to anyone here in egypt including my embassy,I had just been in the Council office for 3 hours after 3 months of waiting and promises on someone to solve my problems, 18 days ago I got to see the new Guvorner of luxor, who gave my problem to the army Brigadier Mohamed while in the same chamber Ie the guvs office, brigadier said he was going to see the Sheikh Mohamed Tyeb. that evening and would phone me at 9.00 the next day with the outcome. my tale of woe is very complicated, and seems much to complicated for the simple minds of people who shoot guns for a living, my cases where taken out of the criminal court here in Luxor due to the massif corruption with Judges police and lawyers. on a promise the Sheihk would put and end to my problems.

no need to keep going over my story as it all on the blogs, so here i was on the lower path of the prom feeling very dissatisfied with what seems another corrupt army officer, who after three months tells me to go see my embassy consular Ehab Gaddis who has a consulate here in Luxor, and these are the people who cannot even be bothered to answer my pleas for help.

18th May,

like a good boy I was at the consulate dead on time, Mr Gaddis had his secretary to greet me and take me to the consulates office on the forth floor , not long after Mr Gaddis arrived, and asked how may I help,,,,, on that question alone I knew this was going to be another waste of my time, this man has or should i say, should of had messages from the cairo embassy ie my web sites or at least messages to say i had problems getting my money from the sheihk,

I was in regular contact with Ehab until the attempted murder on my person last June. what happened at that last meeting was also e-mailed to the right honourable Dominic Asquith british ambassador to Egypt, and no one from my embassy has even made contact with me.

not to worry. I brought Mr Ehab Gaddis up to date and maybe they are now going to do some thing, but i am not putting much faith in them not after what has happened over the past 6 years,

back in the flat i get to read the internet on how this army is still lying to the people. maybe I am off the swings but sill on the roundabout

several times they have said nothing wrong with the old bugger. but he is too ill to go to jail, must be kept in a hospital of his choice.

this or any other hospital in Egypt was good enough for him back in June 2001, me I cannot even get to see a doctor not seen a doctor since the day of the attempted murder,

Egypt’s military rulers deny Mubarak amnesty plans

CAIRO – Egypt’s military rulers denied local media reports they plan to grant amnesty to deposed President Hosni Mubarak following a wave of popular criticism and calls for new protests.

The denial, issued late Tuesday, followed unconfirmed reports that Mubarak would be pardoned in return for an apology to the nation for any wrongdoing and would also hand over his assets. The reports claimed the ousted leader would release an audio recording appealing for amnesty.

The statement by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said the country’s judiciary has the sole authority in Mubarak’s case.

The media reports sparked a wave of criticism and prompted calls for a “Friday to Reject the apology,” rally in Tahrir Square. Several youth groups warned that granting amnesty to Mubarak would spark a new revolution in Egypt.

Calls also spread on Facebook and Twitter for rallies on May 27 under the banner, “I have not felt the change, I am going back to Tahrir,” referring to the central Cairo square that was the center of the protests that brought down Mubarak. They reflected disappointment with the way the military council, which took over from Mubarak, is running the country.

Mubarak stepped down on Feb. 11 and transferred power to the council after 18 days of a popular uprising. He has been in custody in a hospital since last month over allegations of killings of protesters and corruption.

Mubarak’s 70-year-old wife, Suzanne, was released on Tuesday after she relinquished assets and property valued at some $4 million. The move aimed to settle corruption allegations against her, but it was unclear whether she still faces trial.

Mrs. Mubarak was hospitalized over the weekend after she fainted and complained of chest pains during interrogation. She had been expected to be transferred to a women’s prison after medical treatment.

Anti-corruption prosecutors have claimed that Mubarak’s wife has millions in bank accounts in Egypt and owns a villa where she and her husband lived. It is not clear how much money the Mubaraks may have abroad. Some estimates range into the tens of billions of dollars.

Many Egyptians have criticized the ruling military council for being reluctant to restore security while cracking down violently on peaceful protests and sending thousands of civilians to be tried by military courts.

Most recently, a 17-year-old youth was sentenced to death by a military tribunal on charges of kidnapping and sexual assault of a young woman. The sentence was condemned by the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, which called it “deeply troubling” and called for it to be overturned.

Meanwhile, Egypt’s largest Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, announced it had officially applied for political party status. The party will be active starting June 17 unless the Committee for Political Parties issues an objection.

A top party official, Mohammed el-Katatni, noted that 978 women and 93 Christians are now among the party’s founders — an apparent attempt to show the group’s moderate stance following previous assertions that women and Christians are not eligible to run for the presidency because that would violate Islamic Sharia law.

The group also appointed Rafik Habib, a Coptic Christian, as deputy party leader.

“The presence of Christians among the party founders gives practical evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood is meeting its promises and that Christians are brothers and the nation’s partners,” it said in a statement.

The once outlawed Muslim Brotherhood said last month that it would contest half the seats in Egypt’s parliamentary elections in September, sparking fears among secular political forces of a parliament dominated by Islamists.

The group is well positioned to win big in September. Having survived years of attempts by Mubarak’s regime to suppress it, the Brotherhood is the country’s best organized political force now that the ex-president’s ruling party has been disbanded.

we should also remember that the power that be are still the old regime, Hosni’s power house,

the owners brochure say, The boat is regularly restored with a care to reconciling its original ambiance with the accoutrements necessary to respond to the needs of today’s traveller, no that's not steam coming out of the stern this is a diesel ship not "ss" no mention of its nile polluting engine or the roaches and rodents in the brochure.

see the rates on this the most expensive of the nile cruisers, also its the worst boat for polluting the nile it needs a new engine and a full extermination of its kitchen and bilges,

all very well for the rich passengers to travel in style as they have a doctor on board so I am told. to see to your ailments, ie pills for diarrhoea

Your message has correctly been sent.We wish to thank you for your interest about the Steam Ship Sudan,we will contact you within 24 hours.Fermer

today we have a reconnaissance plane flying about I wonder if its taking count of all the pollution . we have no other probs here ;; or do we?looking at its single engine mounted in the centre of the main frame I wonder why the engine on full throttle does not burn the tail off

here on the temple square roundabout tourists have to walk to get into market street this horse has been standing in the blazing sun for hours there is no shade for these poor animals not even on the cornish what shade there is is taken by the taxi drivers and vehicles, next shop to this and the horse piss is the walk by food outlet and the bread shop,

all very nice the sparrows get to eat crumbs the cobbles are stained with horse piss and shit and the people manage to catch all kinds of diseases, and its all free, its all free even for us the tourists, one thing the brochures and the come to Egypt videos do not tell is about all the freebies you can pick up from the Nile waters to the roaches that scramble in and out of your rooms whether its on a cheap Nile cruise to the more expensive rooms in the Winter Palace Hotel there are also uninvited guests or shall we call them pets that visit the guest rooms the geckos that shit on your walls also have a tendency to have airborne diseases as do those rats and mice. so its not just the food and swimming pools that cause your diarrhoea and tummy to turn. I see lots of the tourist with anti bacteria hand cream that’s put on like its a life saver the only way you are safe here in Egypt is if you wear a respirator with its own air supply and you will also need a food drip,

the picnickers toilet area

Take this area this is one of the green patches on the temple square here the ladies can all huddle together some can have a piss without the tourist seeing but all eat nuts and spit the shell out, then the next lot of would be picnickers come along and do the same thing at one time we had lady shell pickers to clean the grassy areas but now they just clear the horse shit from the roads around the area,

in this grassy area one can see the dug out piss holes. the area does not smell all that bad as the grass gets watered every 4 days,,” that’s inundated not pissed on”,

when these grassy areas are inundated they make for a good mirror image photo. it also takes all the piss smell away

a shocking piss area. WC NO 3,it may be here for a purpose but its not very nice getting electrocuted three phase style normal electric is 240 V, this is 450 V. WATER IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR.

WC NO 4. THE BIRDS HAVE ALMOST GOT RID OF THE EVIDENCE BUT THE SMELL OF URINE IS AWEFULL

LUXOR TEMPLE AT SUNSET.

AND HERE WE HAVE THE VAGRANTS, YOU FUCK OFF, IN THE LOCAL DRESS, BAKSHEESH IN GREEN. AND THE NICEST OF THE THREE IS EATING HIS SUGAR CANE THAT HE HAS JUST STOLEN FROM A GUY .HIS FAVOURITE SAYING IS FUCK THE TOURIST,THESE NICE BOYS HAVE BEEN PLAGUING THE AREA SINCE 28/1/2011.WHEN THEY GOT PAID 20LE EACH FOR SMASHING UP THE SIGNS IN THE LUXOR RIOTS, AND YES I HAVE PROOF OF THEIR ANTICS.

THE SUGAR CANE DELIVERY BOY, WILL NOT HAVE MUCH LEFT BY THE TIME HE GETS IT TO THE DRINKS SHOP

HERE I WAS JUST TAKEN A NICE PHOTO OF THE SUNSET THROUGH THE TEMPLE OF LUXOR, WHEN I GOT FLASHED UNSURE WHETHER THIS GUY THOUGHT HE WAS ALEXANDER THE GREAT BUT HIS PRICK WAS THE SIZE OF A PEANUT, SO REFRAINED FROM TAKING HIS PHOTO. THEN HE DECIDED HE NEEDED A PISS AND THAT'S WHAT HE WAS HERE FOR A PISS UNDER THE STAGE, IN ANOTHER WEEK OR SO THE NATIVES WILL HAVE DISMANTLED ALL THE WOOD FROM THIS STAGE THEN WHERE WILL THE NATIVES GO FOR A LATRINE.

this blog is not for the faint hearted, but if you are thinking of coming to Egypt this is what you will see unless you are blind then your sense of smell should take over.

It seems we have no tourists in Luxor and after what I saw again today,, its no wonder, those tourists who have braved to see Egypt will not come here again after taking photos like I have,,,THE WHOLE PLACE STINKS NOT JUST OF ANIMAL SHIT BUT OF HUMAN EXCREMENT.

not feeling too well today I just went for a short walk around Luxor temple this time of day 17.30 I had time to get some shots of the sun setting through the temple pillars. but first I had to pass all the human toilets. here in full view of tourists the carriage drivers get rid of what’s in their belly . just a few yards from the mosques and ancient places, the first toilet is in the open,

toilet no 1,not far from abu hagag mosque AND WHERE THE TOURISTS DISEMBARK TO GO SEE THE TEMPLE

toilet no 1, and the Roman ruins behind the wall,

Abu Hagag is built on the temple of luxor, and it has many toilet and washing areas for the faithful.

The Mosque of Abu Hagag in the Temple of Luxor. The Islamic mosque is located over the First Court and adjoins the eastern wall of the Temple of Luxor. It was built in medieval times above the walls of an ancient Christian basilica located inside the temple courtyard. When the mosque was erected, the derelict temple was already filled with a high mound of soil and debris. That mound was later excavated, leaving the mosque and its doorway standing high above the courtyard on the church’s foundations. A new door and a stairway were built on the east side (shown here). The mosque is dedicated to Abu’l Hagag, the Muslim saint who reputedly converted Upper Egypt to Islam. The mud-brick minaret on the right dates to the eighth century A.D., while the other minaret is much later. To this day, the Muslims of Luxor celebrate the annual festival of Abu’l Hagag with processions and boat-haulings that descend directly from the ancient Festival of Opet connected with Luxor Temple. the mosque had a convenient fire in 2005, UN money rebuilt it. they claimed luxor district council turned the electric off . and the candles set fire to the mosque did not know electricity was built into the mosque eighth century A.D.,

this a larger mosque here is where most of the drivers go before prayer to wash and whatever.

toilet no 2, under the staging. this was built for Mrs Mubarak to listen to the Cairo orchestra . she stayed one hour said she was ill and went back to Cairo, this first lady is also a compulsive liar.every time she came here she said she was ill, maybe it was the smell of money,

‘

these are some of the touts who have their own outside CONSTITUTIONALS NEAR THE TOURIST AREA. MUST NOT GO TO FAR JUST IN CASE THEY MISS A SALE.

ASKING SOME OF THE TOURIST HOW THEY LIKE LUXOR… EVERY TIME WE GET OFF THE BUS WE HAVE THIS HASSLE. WORSE PLACE WAS THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS AND KARNAK TEMPLE,

one thing I will miss is being able to walk in the sun every day, I will miss the sunsets and birdwatching,

but I will be glad to get away from the mosquitoes. I have shown this area before 50 yards from the Winter Palace Hotel,

here we have a cesspit from the horse shit and piss, now its a breeding pool for the mosquitoes. who have a tendency to look for us foreigners what its like in the hotel itself is another question, if its bad in my flat 400yds away. the beer gardens Hamees and Sinbads are the best places to go for a night out there you can give blood at leisure while having a cheap beer. not only do the mosquitoes bite but sinbads has a tendency to sting those who drink a few beers, even though he is a Muslim selling the infidel beer, also be a bit weary of the food, it tends to give one the delly belly.

another 4 hours spent in the waiting room of the guvorner of Luxor’s Office. I saw this photo hanging on the wall where once a photo of the young president Hosny mubarak hung, rather a pun” as some say he is going to hang from the neck until dead for crimes committed against the people.

but like this photo its very nice on first glance unlike the people who come to visit the guvorner I see the flaws in this photo its not real just like Egypt is not real and full of lies, take a good look at the photo its like a game of spot the difference but this is in one photo. this is a bottom half photo of the cornish (promenade)taken from the new winter palace building at about 12 noon. this building was taken down in 2008. the sunset is also a real photo. but the sun does not set in the south here in luxor the sun sets in the winter at 40 d north west in June it sets behind the Valley of the queens at 90d north west. but its a rather pleasant photo much better than the previous one hanging there. while admiring the view of the nile and thebes mountain range that’s home to over 100 tombs and temples I could reel them off as most I have visited and photographed,you can see them or some of them on this link apart from the new tombs unearthed over the past 3 years after the demolition of the tomb robbers houses, not that the tombs are worth visiting all they are now are holes in the ground thanks to the incumbency of the great Dr Zahi Hawass, allowing 50 years of desecration of these tombs. and to my mind Hawass was nothing more than a tomb robber, harsh words \i hear you say after all Zahi did for Egyptology corruption is corruption no matter what colour its painted, and it seems the corruption is still here he gets a year in jail for land theft and another year for letting space in the museum but has been made head of antiquities, how is he going to do his job from a prison cell.

here my problems have come to another door, well the same door but this time the door should have been opened as it was the army general Mohamed . who wanted a word with Mohamed / sheikh.

Now lets see who has tried to get my problem sorted, first there Was AND IS, Achmed Agab who took over from the corrupt Dr Samir faraq, his last phone call a month ago told me to go and collect my money,

then the new Governer Khaled Took office, he said he had seen the sheikh but never said anything about my problem he in turn referred me to general Mohamed who said he was going to have a word with the sheikh last night, and he will phone me at 9 in the morning, I asked him you sure 9 in the morning, well its now 12.03 in the afternoon even though I sent general a text stating that he too has come to a closed door, he still has not phoned me maybe he is not well enough to get to his mobile at 2.00 this afternoon I shall phone him that will have given him 24 hours to get back to me,

nice car no 1 reg is for the guvorner of luxor. Khaled is also a nice man and a good choice to be Luxors new guvorner . HE HAS ONE HELL OF A HARD TASK PUTTING THINGS TO RIGHT AFTER THE LAST GUVORNER DR SAMIR FARAQ. WHO IS NOW IN JAIL ALONG WITH THOSE OF THE OLD REGIME CALL HIM A FALL GUY, AS NOT ONLY HE WAS CORRUPT HERE IN LUXOR,

A ” T 55″ RUSSIAN MADE TANK ON DUTY IN KARNAK

samir faraq his photo taken from one of the protest banners

FEEL SAFE IN LUXOR WITH THE ARMY ON DUTY, THIS IS ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES LIKE MOST OF THEIR TANKS ETC THESE DATE BACK TO THE 50S AND 60S

BRINGS TO MIND MY DAYS SPENT AS A YOUNG MAN IN THE TERRITORIAL ARMY COLWYN BAY BRANCH OF THE 372 REGIMENT RA , HERE AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 17 I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST WITH A BEDFORD TRACTOR TOWING A 25 POUNDER . NOT AN EASY TASK AS THE GREAT ORME WAS THE DRIVING COURSE OF THE TEST, BACK TO BARRACKS AND THE LAST PART OF THE TEST WAS TO DRIVE FROM COLWYN BAY TO HEADQUARTERS IN PRESTATYN IN AN AUSTIN CHAMP . THE CHAMP HAD A ROLLS ROYCE ENGINE AND DID 8 MILES TO THE GALLON 4 MILES LESS THAN THE BEDFORD LORRY,

.

THERE I RECEIVED MY LICENCE, A MILITARY LICENCE SAYING I COULD DRIVE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD BAR A STEAM TRACTION ENGINE, AND THERE WAS NOT ANY OF THEM ABOUT IN THE EARLY 60S,

thomas cook have an office in luxor a prime site next to the winter palace hotel. where they have at least 10 staff a manager 2 office managers , no wonder they claim a loss Europe’s second-biggest travel firm said on Monday it expected around 35 million pounds (US$57 million) to be knocked off its profits in the second half of the year compared with its initial projection of 20 million. is that £ $ Euro or EGP.

luxor airport

1st MAY.2011, 21.00, At this very minute i should be in Doha flown there on flight no QR 517 that’s Qatar airways 517, there I had to wait 2 hours for my connection flight to Bali Denpasar airport is where my daughter was going to meet me off the plane and we were going to spend a few days together its almost 10 years since I last saw my daughter, but thanks to Thomas cook staff here in Luxor Egypt my plans have been scuttled mainly by lies, 5 days ago quatar air had cancelled the flight QR517, but Thomas cook did try and phone did come to look for me , but I gave them the wrong mobile number and they could not find my address. lets start with the mobile no. I can never remember my no, so I have to look it up in my phone directory first I ask for the number I need to ring .. dail the number so by magic my phone no is implanted to the mobile I need to contact and all I need to do then is press memorize and that number is stored and vice versa he then asks for a name and presto we have each others phone numbers, cant be to many tony in luxor now can there , WOULD HAVE A REAL JOB FINDING MOHAMED YES

a very angry Tony on arriving at luxor airport finds out about the cancellation of a flight he had booked, and phoned Thomas cook Mustafa answered the phone and blurted out his lies, and I was getting more and more angry so rather than him making a fool of himself and more to the point umwaa. I walked out of the airport . with some very bemused police I had just entertained with my broken Arabic questions , they must have thought the stupid man had come a day or two to early. realizing my mistake I left the airport terminal in a hurry to save any more embarrassment . 30 le to the airport from luxor so I flagged a taxi down and another one came stopping with screeching brakes. he jumped out of his vehicle and started shouting at the driver I had stopped, me i was off down the road, bollocks to more hassle . i intended to walk half a kilometre and get a service bus that will cost 1 le into the city centre, then this other screeching of brakes. jump in he said this car was first in line, 30 le i said luxor centre , OK he said , then as if by magic this taxi driver had lost his English where go he asked. after 8 years I know the game, and its time to play games back.

as the driver turned to take the longer 100le route to the centre of Luxor. all was nice and quiet not been on this route for a long time so enjoyed the scenery

not in any hurry to get back and have a face to face with the liar from Thomas cook, this route is about 10 k longer than the direct route to the centre of Luxor. so i knew there was more agro coming from this driver. on arriving at the Isis hotel that’s 2 kilometre from my flat. the driver again asked where i go. well i said is this the centre of luxor. yes it is. the new governor of luxor has moved things about has he is he another samir faraq, i asked. the only thing the driver understood was samir faraq,

he is in jail I was told in Arabic, yes i know, you should also be in jail , I said. OK where you go , HANY WAHIB SHOP, YOU KNOW HANY WAHIB SHOP OH YES” HE SAID.

AS WE HEADED INTO THE CENTRE OF TOWN WHICH WAS A DIRECT ROUTE TO MY FLAT HE MADE ANOTHER TURN TOWARDS THE STATION.

NO POINT IN GETTING CROSS ITS JUST WHAT THESE PEOPLE LIKE, MAKES A MEANING TO THEIR BORING DAY. AFTER A FEW MORE TURNS WE ENDED UP BY THE COPTIC CHURCH. NOT HERE I SAID HANY WAHIB SHOP NEAR THE TEMPLE ENTRANCE. AS WE GOT TO THE ROAD THE NEAREST ROUTE TO THE AIRPORT, THIS BUGGER WAS ABOUT TO TURN RIGHT HEADING BACK TO THE AIRPORT, NO NOT kARNAK TEMPLE. REMEMBER i ASKED FOR LUXOR CENTRE 30LE.

YES HE SAID , well this is luxor centre as I got out of the car a making sure my bag was also out I gave him the thirty, 100le he shouted as i slammed the door shut, goodby

I said, and i heard another screeching of tyres. must have burnt a good 30 le off between all the 3 lots of screeching he did. by the time i got in my flat it was 6.30. drop the bags off and just enough time to get to Thomas cook office for a showdown, no point in leaving it until the morning as agreed on the phone from the airport. by then morning staff would be on and no bugger would have a clue as to what i was there for, on entry in the office a very worried Mustafa was confronted by a very angry Welshman, while in the taxi I went through what exactly was said when i decided to buy my travel tickets to Bali,

what’s with all these fukin lies mustafa, what with sheihk tyeb the judges, lawyers and police lying its enough being lied to without a travel company such as Thomas cook lying, you can save all the lies for those first time tourists , But Mr Tony not our fault, never is I said, so whose fault is it , Qatar , oh no i said you knew this flight had been cancelled days ago, do you not think I had a right to know before i got to the airport, and again the bastard lied, saying I gave him the wrong number, oh I said so why did you not send someone to my flat 5 minutes walk from here, You gave us wrong address, to make it worse he said , we send someone to your address but you gave wrong address, well I said opposite my front door there is a furniture painting shop outside there is a very nosy man all he does is sit guard to the shop. I asked him seeing you already said i give you the wrong address, anybody look for Mr Tony . no he said. and i said I gave you my address from a bank letter my visa card came in . how did the bank get my visa to me if its the wrong address, no answer came, he made a few calls. and said come back at 9.30 in the morning and we go see Qatar air office , first i said can you get me to Bali on the 3rd, yes he said another lie, there are no flights until the 4th, look it up before we waste any more time, I will be here at 9.00 just to collect my money plus compensation,

now he tried to get hold of his manager, while doing so I told Mustafa of all the problems i had,, You Mr Tony from the hotel west bank, yes I said. then he said a German lady has been looking for you can I give her your telephone no, then his manager phoned to say I can see him in the morning, well that will be nice I said and started to leave, can I give the German lady your number, Yes I said and left.,

as i said the T C office is just around the corner to my flat, just as I got in my flat put a cuppa on the mobile rang, its me she said, not in any mood to have friendly banter with some stranger. I just said” ooh that’s nice, the line went quiet so I said how can I help you. its me she said again , without going into what was said, this is the lady the rep from Thomas cook was on about, I wonder how she got my phone number, and all the way from Germany, Thomas cook had just said I gave them the wrong number.

Sheikhs ,ARE THEY above the law .

Now that the initial surge of the locals demands to getting their rights back are being dealt with things seem to have quietened down,

its OK it seems that the locals can claim their stolen land back and rightly so, many are claiming for land that was not theirs i.e. government land, so who is going to say what is what. On the end or the beginning of the cornish we have the Iberhotel, and across the road opposite the main lobby entrance there was a curved building this was the land registry office a place I spent a few hours looking at plans of the west bank mainly the Memnon amenhotep111 temple area, it took quite some time to get to see detailed map of the areas the maps showed all buildings that where existing before 1972, why is quite simple there has not been one single building built on the west bank with building consent not even the police station or any of the schools, IN 2010 THIS BUILDING WAS DEMOLISHED AND QUITE A FEW OF THE LAND REGISTRY FILES DISAPPEARED IN THE MOVE TO THE NEW OFFICE, NO RECORDS ARE OR HAD BEEN PUT ON COMPUTER, SO NOW SINCE THE 2011 REVOLUTION NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS AGRICULTURE LAND OR WHO OWNS WHAT, CONFUCIUS WAS BORN AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF DR SAMIR FARAQ,

Construction of the High Dam became a key objective of the Egyptian Government following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. pre 1952 of course the Nile inundated the land, Gamal Abdel Nasser SAW THE DIVISION BETWEEN RICH AND POOR AND GAVE THE POOR THEIR OWN LAND JUST ENOUGH TO FEED THEIR FAMILY, and in 1998 Mubarak made a law no building on Nile land that meant no building on land inundated by the Nile waters . covered his GREED FOR LAND quite well as not much land was covered by nile water after the building of the high dam in Aswan. THEN CAME THE REGIME UNDER MUBARAK MUCH OF THE NILE LAND WAS GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SONS,

Elephantine was a fort that stood just before the first cataract of the Nile. During the Second Intermediate Period (1650 – 1550 BCE), the fort marked the southern border of Egypt, BUT WAS OF NO IMPORTANCE TO MUBARAK AND HIS REGIME THEY BUILT THE OBEROI HOTEL AND SOLD IT TO MOVENPICK FOR 200 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2003. ANOTHER ISLAND WAS ALSO SOLD TO BUILD THE ISIS HOTEL THIS WAS WILDLIFE PROTECTED LAND.

COMING CLOSER TO MY HOME WE HAVE THE KINGS ISLAND ONCE KNOWN AS CROCKODILE ISLAND ANOTHER ONE OF MUBARAKS LAND GRABBING SCHEMES RECENTLY SOLD FOR 600MILLION STERLING. IT TOO WAS WILDLIFE PROTECTED LAND. ,

WAS Dr Samir Faraq the only bad boy in luxor, I fear not there is no doubt he was corrupt, but he was not the only one. some sheikhs and head of villages got colossal amounts of money to put street lighting in the villages, some got money to build unneeded bridges across the canals, millions of Dollars have been squandered some sheikhs did quite well soon after receiving monies these sheihks were turning up at the begging bowl in new cars at the new office in Awameia, this office got the brunt of the destruction during the recent riots. as the people knew it as Samir’s office, who were the kingpins distributing this new found wealth???, question is, ARE THEY above the law .
